FSU Women's Basketball Edges Past Georgia Southern for 2-0 Start!

In an electrifying matchup on Thursday night, the Florida State women’s basketball team solidified their early season momentum by defeating Georgia Southern, improving their record to 2-0 this season. The Seminoles faced an uphill battle in the opening quarter, falling behind 11-2 due to a determined 7-0 run by the Eagles.
